My name is Ray Nakamura. I began my career in the construction industry as a hardwood floor installer/refinisher. I quickly graduated to tile and stone installations and before I knew it our clients wanted to hire us for their entire kitchen and bathroom remodels. Thanks to the great people I have around me it was no problem to grow and expand. We are now licensed and experienced in completing remodels. My trusted right hand man is my Uncle Gil. He helps me oversee all remodels and has been in the construction industry for 50 years. Half of our work is still flooring and the other half is mostly remodels.

We stress two things at our company. First, we are honest with our customers in all our dealings. Second, we perform high quality work with no shortcuts. We carry a California state license, liability insurance and workers compensation insurance. We have many customers in the area and would be happy to have you speak with them for a reference on our services. Give us a call for an estimate and we look forward to serving you.

What Makes Complete Tile Collection special?

We take a different approach to representing tile materials. Tile showrooms typically create vignettes and displays in an attempt to represent their particular âstyleâ. Our focus is on presenting the tile itself in an objective, yet detailed and organized fashion, rather than trying to impose the way we think it should be used.

Materials in our showroom are displayed modularly, so that each item can be removed individually and composed into unique arrangements on our worktables. This approach allows for a pure design process to occur, without the distraction of preconceived configurations.

Hardwood Floors L.A.

The goal is to provide you with the perfect space, as a home should be functional and appealing. You can look over our portfolio for inspiration or we can simply start from scratch.

Choosing the right flooring for a particular room in your home may seem like a daunting decision. It's a process that combines your personal taste with careful thinking about practicality. After all, it's a surface you, your family and friends will walk, stand and sit on, your kids will spill, play and grow up on. But asking yourself a few key questions at the beginning of the process should help reduce your worry, ease your choice and increase your long-term satisfaction with your new floor.

Questions on the Floor

What's the size of the family that will regularly use the room, and how much traffic will the floor receive? Children definitely make a difference. Any pets? Will the floor be exposed to moisture regularly? How often is the floor likely to need cleaning? How long do you hope and expect your new floor to last?

Kitchens

For kitchen flooring, durability and ease of cleaning are top criteria. Good choices are linoleum, ceramic tile-- both very common--and wood. Linoleum is inexpensive and provides an easy-to-clean surface and comes in countless designs. Ceramic tiles are even better. Also easy to maintain and available in a huge range, they offer superior durability, resisting most dents, dings and scratches. There are a couple of things to bear in mind about tiles, however. One is that if installed over a floor that has structural movement, ceramic tiles are prone to crack. So if your house is very old, it's probably a good idea to replace your subfloor while you're at it. A second point that's worth thinking about, particularly if your family includes children or anyone with special safety needs, is that smooth tiles can be very slippery when they get wet, so you may want to consider ones with a textured surface.

Then there's wood. While some feel it's an unusual choice now that there are so many different flooring options, I personally think hardwood is an excellent choice for the kitchen. Everybody ends up spending a lot of time there, and wood floors can add a great deal of "homeyness" to the kitchen. At the same time, wood is also good at coping with the high traffic volume. One important reminder: When installing wood flooring in a kitchen, do make sure you apply a good protective finish, such as a polyurethane, to guard against the many kinds of moisture that inevitably make their way onto the kitchen floor.

Bathrooms

Even more so than kitchens, bathrooms obviously see a lot of moisture. Linoleum, ceramic tile, limestone, marble and granite are all popular and functional flooring choices, coming with a range of different price tags and requiring various levels of expertise to install. Working with ceramic or even vinyl tiles is relatively easy, and many homeowners should be able to successfully do it themselves. Ceramic tiles look great and provide superb durability, but they aren't cheap. And if you should elect to go with an even more challenging and higher-end material such as marble- you're going to need to hire professionals.
